And being characterized as of present embodiment makes mark corresponding with each information for still picture.
That is: in the kind of playing list mark shown in Figure 7, append in the present embodiment, the rest image mark foremost of expression information for still picture.
Thereby the playing list mark can be discerned and for example represent chapters and sections chapter marker foremost, represents information for still picture rest image mark foremost, represents the skip flag of skipping the position of each scene.
If distribute predetermined number respectively, then can discern mark meaning separately, it is possible grasping a plurality of marks in view of the above.Certainly the meaning of mark is arbitrarily, also can be with single mark.
In the present embodiment, if as the record position of each information for still picture of playing list label record, then during the information for still picture before and after being converted to, can easily detect the record position of information for still picture.As a reference, Figure 15 represents the schematic diagram of managerial structure of the playing list of present embodiment.
Secondly, with Fig. 9 the correspondence of each information under the situation of record information for still picture is illustrated.
Under the situation of record information for still picture, as image, the record information for still picture replaces dynamic image data.Under the situation of information for still picture, image information is not a recording occurring continuously, only to showing information for still picture part, recording image information.On the other hand, the information information for still picture of acoustic information or caption information etc. or dynamic image data all similarly carry out record continuously on stream.
Here, the information for still picture of record is by the image information of compressing with the same MPEG2 mode of dynamic image data, carries out record by the form that transports packets of information of MPEG as file.At this moment different with dynamic image data, only write down compressed image information in 1 frame (I image) as information for still picture.Because only at its image information termination message, so, keep its image information if the sequential encoding that stops in image information back additional representation image information then shows 1 image information by decoder.
Figure 11 represents the image of MPEG mail message bag.Here, so-called MPEG transports packets of information and refers to streamed from output control circuit 104 output of Fig. 1.
Among Figure 11, the 1101st, the packets of information header, the 1102nd, MPEG transports packets of information.It is 188 byte lengths that MPEG transports packets of information.The packets of information header of 4 bytes is added on it, write down a plurality of continuous packets of information as stream file., use 30 bits as time tag among the packets of information header here, remaining 2 bit uses as the posting field of additional information.Time tag be used for the control information bag output regularly, with the markers of 27MHz as benchmark, the value of usage count.
Figure 12 is the concrete configuration example of carrying out packets of information output timing controlled part in output control circuit.
1201 is input terminals among Figure 12, the 1202nd, and buffer, the 1203rd, time tag extracts circuit, the 1204th, oscillator, the 1205th, counter, the 1206th, consistent testing circuit, the 1207th, lead-out terminal.
Transport on the input terminal 1201 that packets of information is input to output timing control circuit as MPEG from the reproducing signal of CD, here Shu Ru MPEG transports packets of information as shown in figure 11, at the packets of information packets of information header of additional 4 bytes foremost.Time tag extracts circuit 1203 by the time tag that this MPEG transports 30 bits in the packets of information information extraction packet head, is input to consistent testing circuit.Meanwhile, the packets of information of input is input to buffer.
On the other hand, oscillator produces the markers of 27MHz frequency, and this markers is input to counter.Counter and time tag have the bit long of 30 bits equally, to the markers of 27MHz counting.By the value of rolling counters forward, import consistent testing circuit.
Secondly, the reproduction order of the transcriber that uses present embodiment is described.
On CD 101 by aforesaid format record image information stream or playing list information, clip information etc.
At first, user's fixing disc 101 on transcriber.In case the insertion CD, then driver control circuit 106 detects the insertion of dish, and the order signal that dish is inserted sends to system, control circuit 111.System, control circuit 111 receiving plate insert signal, read the file management signal on the CD 101.Specifically, 111 pairs of driver control circuits 106 of system, control circuit are indicated, so that read the information of the predetermined sector of CD 101.The indication that driver control circuit 106 is accepted from system, control circuit 111, control servo circuit 105, the rotating speed or the phase place of control CD are picked up the position of light device etc.In view of the above, on the predetermined sector of indication, pick up the light device and search for, by the laser sense information.Accept the laser of light by picking up light device 102, be transformed to electric signal and deliver to reproducing signal treatment circuit 103 by accepting optical circuit.103 pairs of above-mentioned signals of telecommunication of reproducing signal treatment circuit carry out demodulation, and processing such as error correction are transformed into digital information.The information of the predetermined sector of reading like that as mentioned above is back to system, control circuit 111 from driver control circuit 106.System, control circuit 111 is made primitive resolution file management information or file content with the information of accepting from driver control circuit 106.In the file directory information or the file identifier that have write down record on CD 101 on the file control information, information such as the size of each file or record position.System, control circuit carries out necessary file with these file control informations and reads.
Secondly, the user is in order to begin the reproduction of CD 101, and the indication transcriber begins to reproduce.Specifically, push the reproduction start button of remote controller (not shown).The signal that sends from remote controller receives by remote-control receiving circuit 112, is input to system, control circuit 111.The reproduction indication that system, control circuit 111 understanding are come from the user, beginning reproduction processes order.Specifically, at first, system, control circuit 111 is read the file of info.dvr201, obtains in the playlist file number of disc recording or playlist file name etc.The information of system, control circuit 111 playing list that demonstration obtains on the image information face impels the user to select playing list.As required, information that also can display menu image information face or sketch map etc.
The user selects desirable playing list from the playing list that TV image information face shows.At this moment also select with remote controller button up and down etc., the button information of pushing is input to system, control circuit through the remote controller receiving circuit.Certainly, also can be need not playing list to select, to begin the mode that order reproduces from foremost playing list and control.
In case playing list is selected, then system, control circuit 111 is read selected playing list information from CD.On each playing list, write information about the reproducting method of representing by type_of_presentation.In addition, write the filename of the stream file that reproduces and reproduce the zero hour, the reproduction termination moment etc. as playing list information.In addition, write the playing list label information.On the playing list label information, write the playing list number corresponding, corresponding sketch map number etc. with the moment of marking.
At first, be 0 o'clock at type_of_presentation, that is,, the action of transcriber is described to carry out the common example that is reproduced as.
Type_of_presentation is 0 o'clock, and document order specified in playitems playitem is reproduced.Specifically, system, control circuit 111 is read the information of playitems playitem foremost, reads out in the clip information file 207 that the Clip_information_file correspondence is write in the there.Secondly, with clip information the moment of IN_time that writes in the playitems playitem and OUT_time is transformed into the beginning number of packets of information and stops number.Then, read the stream file corresponding, begin to reproduce from beginning the corresponding packets of information of number with packets of information with Clip_information_file.The stream information bag that reproduces is according to the time tag that writes on the packets of information, and the timing predetermined outputs to acoustic information decoder 107 and picture information decoding device 109 from output control circuit 104.In acoustic information decoder 107, acoustic information is decoded, output to acoustic information lead-out terminal 108.Similarly, decode in 109 pairs of image informations of picture information decoding device.Output to image information lead-out terminal 110.And caption information or chart-information etc. are also decoded by predetermined decoder (not shown), with the overlapping output of image information signal.Multiple chemical control system instruction in the stream is input to system, control circuit 111 from output control circuit 104, carries out instruction interpretation.
The reproduction of above-mentioned stream file is carried out till the packets of information of the termination message Bale No. sign indicating number corresponding with OUT_time on the playitems playitem 902.In case the reproduction of the information for still picture 904 corresponding with playitems playitem 902 stops, and then similarly carries out the reproduction of next playitems playitem 903.In case the reproduction of a succession of playitems playitem of record stops on playing list 901, then returns the selection of playing list.Certainly, also can be controlled, so that the reproduction of next playing list is proceeded.
Secondly, processing is illustrated to the skip action during the renders image information.
As described above, the label information of recording played inventory in playing list 901.In the playing list label information, the corresponding moment that writes label record with playitems playitem.In playitems playitem 901 is reproduced, push next chapters and sections button of remote controller by the user, when the reproduction that begins from next chapters and sections begins, read with reproduce in the corresponding playing list label information of playitems playitem, as skip flag contrast present now again the chapter marker 901 after more retrieve.
In present embodiment, each playitems playitem is corresponding with separately chapters and sections, and the rest image mark of the information for still picture foremost of chapters and sections and chapter marker are illustrated as the mark of dual-purpose, yet, the invention is not restricted to this, can make also that image sets is corresponding with playitems playitem arbitrarily.Also can distinguish chapter marker and rest image mark.
When in the playing list label information corresponding, not having following skip flag, also can retrieve from the information of the playing list mark corresponding with following playitems playitem with the playitems playitem in the reproduction.
From the chapter marker of retrieving like this 910, obtain chapter marker by mark_time_stamp, obtain beginning information reproduction Bale No. sign indicating number from clip information after, begin the reproduction of information for still picture 905 from its packets of information.In view of the above, can be corresponding with next chapters and sections button, carry out the reproduction that begins from next chapters and sections.
Similarly, push previous chapters and sections button and carry out chapters and sections before be close to when beginning to reproduce, read the playing list label information in the reproduction, retrieve the chapters and sections skip flag more preceding than present now again.When in the playing list label information corresponding, not having previous chapters and sections skip flag, also can retrieve from the playing list label information corresponding with being close to preceding playitems playitem with the playitems playitem in the reproduction.From the skip flag of retrieving like this, in the moment by mark_time_stamp obtains skip flag, after clip information is tried to achieve the number of beginning information reproduction bag, begin the reproduction of stream file from its packets of information.In view of the above, corresponding with previous chapters and sections button, can carry out from being close to the reproduction that preceding chapters and sections begin.
Like this, it is possible beginning from the position of the playing list mark of front and back that convection current reproduces.
Secondly, the switching motion (skip etc.) of image information is described.
In information shown in Figure 9, in playing list 901, comprise 902 and 903,2 playitems playitem as playitems playitem.In case playing list 901 is reproduced, then at first the additional information 907 of the information for still picture 904 that comprises in playitems playitem 902 and acoustic information corresponding with it etc. is reproduced.Here, information for still picture 904 shows after stream reproduces at once.On the other hand, additional information 907 is the stream with predetermined length, uses the scheduled time (for example 5 seconds) to reproduce.This recovery time determines when information makes.After reproducing, playitems playitem 902 carries out the reproduction of playitems playitem 903.In playitems playitem 903, comprise 2 information for still picture 905 and 906.In addition, the additional information of acoustic information corresponding with these information for still picture etc. is 908.In case playitems playitem 903 is reproduced, then at once, information for still picture 905 is shown, only through showing information for still picture 906 after the predetermined instant.Export additional information 908 therebetween.In case the reproduction of additional information 908 stops constantly, then the reproduction of playitems playitem 903 stops.
In the reproduction of rest image 905, push next image button here,, indicate, so that when showing next information for still picture, system, control circuit is retrieved next rest image mark 911, the reproduction that begins to flow from its position from the playing list mark.Promptly; Information for still picture 906 is reproduced.Here, the additional information 908 of acoustic information etc. and multipleization of stream of rest image, in case the demonstration of information for still picture changes, then the reproduction position of additional information also changes.Therefore, additional information 908 is carried out the reproduction of additional information 908 latter halfs from being that the corresponding position of rest image mark 911 begins to reproduce with information for still picture 906.
Similarly, in the reproduction of information for still picture 905, push previous image button, indicate, so that when showing previous information for still picture, system, control circuit begins to retrieve the rest image mark 909 before being close to, the reproduction that begins to flow from its position from the playing list mark.That is, information for still picture 904 and additional information 907 are reproduced.
Like this, the user can easily change the image information of demonstration.
, on playitems playitem, can set still_flag and still_duration.This is to be used for stopping image information display at the fixed time after playitems playitem is reproduced.For example, after playitems playitem 902 is reproduced, and then when thinking only during 10 seconds, to stop image information, still_flag is set, is provided with 10 as still_duration.System, control circuit is identified in the playitems playitem 902 and is provided with still_flag after playitems playitem 902 is reproduced, and stops display action.Specifically, stop the output of acoustic information, displays image information shows regularly according to last image information former state.Secondly, in 10 seconds of a system, control circuit timing, controlled thereafter, so that move to the reproduction of next playitems playitem.In view of the above, after playitems playitem is reproduced, can only stop at any time showing.During demonstration stops, also can when pushing next image button, beginning to reproduce from next rest image mark position by the user.Still_duration is set at 0 o'clock, is controlled, stop to show up to operating by the user.By making up this processing and instruction process, can in selecting, user's menu be applied.
As shown in Figure 6, because in the message structure of the playing list information of present embodiment, each playitems playitem information had still_flag, so can carry out the last image information that just in playitems playitem, comprises that the image information after playitems playitem is reproduced stops.Thereby, after reproducing, playitems playitem carries out being necessary to be divided into when image information stops playitems playitem separately.For fear of it, also consider in playitems playitem, to write down the method for still_flag and still_duration information.
In the stream corresponding, only comprise information for still picture, do not comprise the additional information of acoustic information etc. with playing list 912.Also can similarly carry out reproduction processes or skip action in this case with playing list 901.
With the situation of information for still picture similarly, by corresponding with mark in whole I images of dynamic image data, when showing animation information, make the conversion of I image become easy as information for still picture.
More than, in second execution mode, also can easily convert next image information to even record a plurality of information for still picture, return the operation of previous image information.In addition,, also can easily convert next image information to, return the operation of previous image information showing under the situation of dynamic image data as information for still picture.
Secondly, the 3rd execution mode is illustrated.In the skip action of explanation hereto, when the demonstration of conversion information for still picture, also change the acoustic information that reproduces simultaneously., under the situation that menu is selected or as the phase of photo show under the situation of information for still picture that the scheme of not interrupting output sound information continuously is more convenient.Therefore, different with common playitems playitem as shown in figure 10, using as sub-playitems playitem record BGM acoustic information is possible also.Figure 10 represents that the information for still picture to band BGM carries out the correspondence of information under the reproduction situation.
As shown in Figure 9, when information for still picture and acoustic information etc. is carried out multipleization record, during selection converted image information by the user, also can in the image information conversion, change for the additional information of acoustic information etc.This is realizing becoming inconvenient under the such situation of menu image information faces with information for still picture.Even therefore when converted image information, should acoustic information do not interrupted yet, reproduce continuously such reproducting method correspondence.
Specifically, as shown in figure 10, in playing list, when specifying a plurality of information for still picture, as sub-playitems playitem specified voice information as common playitems playitem.In view of the above, acoustic information reproduces independently as sub-playitems playitem and information for still picture, even also can reproduce continuously acoustic information when the conversion information for still picture.
As message structure,, can represent that this playing list is the information for still picture of band BGM by specifying 1 among the type_of_presentation in PlayList information.
Secondly, expression has the information regeneration order of the BGM of Figure 10 record with acoustic information.
Under the situation that the information for still picture of being with BGM reproduces, set 1 as type_of_presentation.
In playing list 1001, comprise sub-playitems playitem 1010, also have 2 playitems playitem 1002,1003 simultaneously.Specifically, on the message structure of Fig. 6, specify stream 1011 conducts
SubPlayItem ()Here, in the stream corresponding, except image, comprise caption information or image information, control command etc., yet do not comprise acoustic information with playitems playitem.On the other hand, in the stream 1011 of sub-playitems playitem, only comprise acoustic information.
When stream 1001 reproduces, from playing list (Fig. 4), obtain the information of playitems playitem (1002 and 1003) and sub-playitems playitem 1010.
Secondly, from playitems playitem (Fig. 6), read clip information file according to Clip_information_file_name.Use this clip information file, try to achieve the stream reproduction start information Bale No. sign indicating number constantly corresponding with IN_time.In addition, read the stream file corresponding, begin output, carry out the decoding of image information from above-mentioned reproduction start information Bale No. sign indicating number with above-mentioned clip information file.Here, the stream 1004,1005,1006 that reproduces as playitems playitem does not comprise image information and caption information, acoustic information shown in as described above.Still controlled even perhaps comprise acoustic information, so that not discarded output.By such processing, carry out the reproduction of the playitems playitem in the playing list 1001.
On the other hand, in playing list 1001 middle finger stator playitems playitem 1010.If specify 1 as type_of_presentation in playing list information, then the system, control circuit in the transcriber judges that this playing list carries out is that the information for still picture of band BGM reproduces.At this moment, sub-playitems playitem is handled as the BGM acoustic information.Specifically, read in the stream 1011 corresponding, control, so that its repetition with sub-playitems playitem 1010.Certainly, also can only reproduce once by antithetical phrase playitems playitem stream, also can in playitems playitem, write down the such information of number of times of reproducing of specifying.Here, be necessary playitems playitem is reproduced and parallel the carrying out of sub-playitems playitem reproduction.At this moment, if controlled,, then can reproduce output stream simultaneously so that read both sides' stream file by multiple processing of time-division.Certainly, be ready to jumbo buffer storage, also can after all reading sub-playitems playitem, be controlled, so that output.
Secondly, under the situation of message structure shown in Figure 10, the action of the conversion of the information for still picture that passes through the user is described.
If as previously mentioned, playing list 1001 is reproduced, then to playitems playitem 1002 and 1003 sequential reproduction, show information for still picture.At this moment, also antithetical phrase playitems playitem 1010 parallel reproductions, the acoustic information in the output stream 1011.
For example, in convection current 1005 is reproduced, push next image button, under the situation of indicating next information for still picture to show by the user, system, control circuit is retrieved next rest image mark 1009 from the playitems playitem mark, begins from its position to reproduce.Therefore, the information for still picture of reproduction is converted to 1006, shows the information for still picture that wherein comprises.
On the other hand, because sub-playitems playitem 1010 continues to reproduce with the operation of being changed by user's information for still picture independently, even so under the situation of conversion by the image information reproduced from user's indication, also can not interrupt acoustic information, and convection current 1011 successively reproducings.
Under the situation of message structure shown in Figure 10,, also can after reproducing, each image information only stop at any time showing by using still_picture_flag and still_duration.If controlled in this case,, then do not interrupt acoustic information so that the sub-playitems playitem 1010 as the BGM acoustic information is exported continuously.
As shown above, in the 3rd execution mode, by with sub-playitems playitem as the BGM acoustic information, even also can export continuously under the situation of image information conversion being undertaken to acoustic information by the user.
In above-mentioned concrete example, enumerated chapter marker and 2 kinds of work examples of rest image mark as the playing list mark, and used them respectively, but be not limited thereto, can also use identical playing list mark.At this moment can to whether common dynamic image data be reproduced or information for still picture reproduced and judge, and handle.
More than, in the 3rd execution mode, recording under the situation of a plurality of information for still picture, also can be converted to next image information easily, return the operation of previous image information.Also can show information for still picture in the limit, the limit is as the continuous output sound information of BGM.
More than, according to the present invention, the conversion information for still picture is reproduced becomes possibility, in addition, can provide reproducing technology easy to use.
Can implement the present invention not breaking away under other form spirit of the present invention or principal character, the foregoing description.Therefore, the foregoing description all only is an example of the present invention in whole main points, should restrictedly not explain.Scope of the present invention is represented by the scope of claim.And, belong to this patent claim scope equalization scope distortion or the change all within the scope of the invention.
